February 18, 1996 - After Communion

R. God created us to love Him and be satisfied by Him and we can only be completely satisfied in heaven. Jesus wants us to be One in Him, Jesus wants us to love as He loved, to love every person as He loves them! I cannot love Him deeply if I do not love my brothers. To know and love Jesus is to know and love all He knows and loves.

    I knew His love so deep December 15, 1995, Mass Book and Blue Book 9, also December 17th and December 18th.

    Jesus allowed me to experience this depth of oneness in Him, to let me have this vision and deep presence of God, that I will now know forever! As I dwell in Their Hearts and unite in this deep love of God, I will interact with others as I live In Him.

Galatians 2: 19-20

...I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me.
 

R. I long to live in God to be living in Him. God dwells in me and operates to this world through me.

    I join with others in deep, spiritual love. This takes discipline of self. To love someone deeply, spiritually in God, it is in total accord with His will. To help me advance spiritually in my love of God. I should love others deeply and spiritually. I learn about loving God by loving others and learn about loving others from learning from God how to love. The self wants to be satisfied. We can never be completely satisfied here on earth. The holy soul wants only to please God.

    I seek to do God the Father's will. God lives in my graced, baptized soul: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I have a body and a soul, the body lives to serve the soul.

1 John 4: 17-21

Love comes to its perfection in us when we can face the Day of Judgement fearlessly, because even in this world we have become as he is. In love there is no room for fear, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear implies punishment and no one who is afraid has come to perfection in love. Let us love, then, because he first loved us. Anyone who says 'I love God' and hates his brother, is a liar, since whoever does not love the brother whom he can see cannot love God whom he has not seen. Indeed this is the commandment we have received from him, that whoever loves God, must also love his brother.
 

R. I love my God with this deep spiritual love. I give myself to God. I live to please God. I long and thirst for God. God satisfies my starved soul. God intends me to walk hand in hand with others – to love and work on my relationships with significant others He put in my life.

    In my love relationship with God and all others, I want only to do the Father's will. I love God with my whole heart, my whole soul and my whole being.

    Love is circular. I learn how to love others from God. He is the source. I learn how to love God deeper by loving others. The three awarenesses are: love of God, love of self, love of others. I cannot have deep love if I am missing one of the three.

Excerpt from the Priestly Newsletter 2000 - Issue 3  by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

The fact that the Church is here on earth a reflection of the Trinitarian Community easily leads us to reflect upon the Church as the Body of Christ, since this name given to the Church also emphasizes the communal aspect of the Church. St. Paul tells us: For as with the human body which is a unity although it has many parts -- all the parts of the body, though many, still making up one single body -- so it is with Christ. We were baptised into one body in a single Spirit, Jews as well as Greeks, slaves as well as free men, and we were all given the same Spirit to drink. And indeed the body consists not of one member but of many. If the foot were to say, ‘I am not a hand and so I do not belong to the body’, it does not belong to the body any the less for that. Or if the ear were to say, ‘I am not an eye, and so I do not belong to the body’, that would not stop its belonging to the body. If the whole body were just an eye, how would there be any hearing? If the whole body were hearing, how would there be any smelling?

Now Christ’s body is yourselves, each of you with a part to play in the whole. And those whom God has appointed in the Church are, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers; after them, miraculous powers, then gifts of healing, helpful acts, guidance, various kinds of tongues. Are all of them apostles? Or all prophets? Or all teachers? Or all miracle-workers? Do all have the gifts of healing? Do all of them speak in tongues and all interpret them? (1 Cor 12:12-17; 27-30)

R. This love is a reflection of the love that the Persons of the Trinity have for one another. God gives us a sharing in His life in baptism.

    If I am baptized and remain in the state of grace the Trinity dwells within me. This love is reflected in my life, in proportion to how deeply I am saturated with God's grace. Grace is a participation in His life.

 

February 19, 1996

R. For the first time in sometime I was given the grace to want Him so badly, to see my Beloved God. I miss Him so much if I can't go to the tabernacle daily and daily Mass. I couldn't get into Immaculata because they were doing the floor. I tried to go to Xavier and they were having a funeral. I went to the library to study for a test and missed this time before the tabernacle with Jesus so much! I long to go to the tabernacle. Jesus is truly present in the consecrated host. I went to All Saints and I was overwhelmed with love and adoration for the Almighty God. I cried for the first time in a long time and bowed to the ground for He truly is Our Majesty, the Almighty God, worthy of all honor and devotion - I love Him so much!

 

February 19, 1996

Notes:

    R. To stop at words is to miss the fire. The heart unites to the mind, the heart is filled with the knowledge the mind has. I am not all heart, I am not all mind, I am as He is in me, filled with His presence. He is love. I unite in the deepest love to all.

    It is in the heart I want to unite in the white heat of the Father's love with the Holy Spirit and Mary to join in the mystery of God's love, the mystery of the Trinity. "And they were joined in one mind and one heart, united in His love, bound by the Hearts." This is the love that will unite the Shepherds of Christ Movement, united in Consecration in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. I love the Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

    I need His love to love Him so deeply. We are not isolated. We are to be united in love. We are creatures of God. We should be bound by hearts of love – Living in Their Hearts!!

Seven Sorrows in Honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary

1st Sorrow: The prophecy of Simeon

R. Feel in your heart as Mary felt when she took Jesus to the temple and Simeon told her of the sufferings to come and he said, "And a sword too shall pierce your heart, O Mary."

2nd Sorrow: The flight into Egypt

R. Feel as Mary felt in her heart during the flight into Egypt.

3rd Sorrow: The loss of the Child Jesus in the temple

R. Feel as Mary felt in her heart as she looked at the face of her beloved Son, crowned with thorns, covered with blood, and carrying the heavy cross on His back.

4th Sorrow: Jesus and Mary meet on the way to the cross

R. Feel as Mary felt in her heart as she stood beneath the cross and watched the shriveled body of her Son covered with blood and wounds, die before her very eyes.

5th Sorrow: Jesus dies on the cross

R. Feel within the heart of Mary as she felt when she touched the skin of her Son, knowing that He was dead.

6th Sorrow: Jesus is taken down from the cross and laid in Mary's arms

R. Feel as Mary felt when she saw her Son locked in a tomb.

7th Sorrow: The burial of Jesus

Jesus: My beloved ones, I want to tell you how satan is pressing down on the earth causing such confusion, doubt in your lives. I am Jesus. I am giving to you great graces. Know that you will suffer much confusion for satan aims to stop you on your path. You must come to Me every day and be strengthened. Live each moment of the day dwelling in our hearts. Be humble and kind, not prideful. I am Jesus, you are My beloved apostles. I love you, I love you, I love you.

 

 

February 20, 1996

R. We meet Father, Son and Holy Spirit in the white center of His Heart where there is such oneness with the Almighty God. It is there we are one with God! The center of His Heart is where there is the white heat of God's love, where the action of the Holy Spirit permeates our being. It is where we meet in deep love in God. This is where we see the beauty of God reflected in each other, where there is not division, where God's light and love are in us.

    As we dwell in such oneness in this burning love, we live in this world.
 

Galatians 2: 19-20

...I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me.

R. Oh, beautiful creatures, do not be afraid to love, for God is love and He is alive in us. Open your hearts and let His love pour out into this world through our hearts full of God's love.

    See the beauty and uniqueness of each creature, created by Him and love them as our brothers, for we are all members of one family. God is our Father. Mary is our Mother. We live through Him, with Him and in Him in the unity of the Holy Spirit. This is life deeply rooted in the white heat of His love.

    I must love. There must be an awareness on my part, about how Jesus loves my brother so much and how He wants me to be united to my brothers in Him. Jesus said that when we love our brothers we are loving Him.

   How can I love Him who I don't see when I can't love my brother who I see. Why can't we genuinely love our brothers? Why do we not realize that He is giving us all we need? We are feeling empty inside when we hold back our love.

    We must pray for the grace to know His great love for us. It is in knowing this love that we will love as He wants us to love.

    Come, Lord Jesus, come and live in me - deeply so that I love as You love, through me. I want to be like You. How far I am from being like You and loving as You love! Only with Your grace will I love more like You. I love You so much!

    I cannot harbor judgment or hatred in my heart in injustice to my brothers and dwell in Their Hearts for God is love. I want to be in the center of Jesus' Heart. I want to be one with Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I give myself totally to Jesus and my Mother, Mary. If I dwell deeply in Mary's pure heart, I will dwell deeper in Jesus' Heart and unite more and more to the Father and Holy Spirit. Make me pure, O adorable Lord, that I will be one in you.

    I want to be in the deepest, deepest, hottest center of His love, united to God - all three Persons. To be there I must be pure. To be there I must be loving. To be there I must love God and love all others as I love myself. To be in the center is to know His love and to be loving all His creatures with deep love.

    I am not in the center if I am not loving, and if I am not loving God and loving all men. The hottest part of the fire is in the white center. It is there I am purified. I am in the white heat of God's love. I am as He intends me to be, living in Him.

    This is the vision, this is the wish of our Mother at Fatima, this is the wish of Jesus when He shows us His Heart. He says, "Come unto me all who labor and are heavily burdened and I will give you rest."

    We walk along burdened with our problems and Jesus says, "Come to My Heart, My load is light, My fire is warm and comforting." We stand on the outskirts of His Heart. We scratch the surface and struggle and He opens His Heart and tells us to dwell deeply in the white heat of His love.

    To enter His Heart we must give our heart to His Mother. Mary is the purest heart. To enter into Jesus' Heart deeply – Mary helps us – the Holy Spirit works with Mary to make us more holy – I must be holy. I go to Mary and ask the Holy Spirit to sanctify me that I may dwell deeply in this Heart of infinite love. I want to dwell in the center. I want it all. I want the union with the Father and Holy Spirit. I want to be close to Mary. I want deep, deep union with God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I want to be possessed by God, I must seek holiness.

    Immaculate Heart of Mary, I consecrate My heart to you. Sacred Heart of Jesus, I consecrate my heart to You. I want to dwell deeply in the deepest, hottest chamber of the Heart of Jesus. It is with this love I will love as He lives in me.

    The more I love others, the greater my union with Him. I want the deepest union Him. Jesus loves all His creatures, I want to be deeply united in the center of Jesus' Heart so I must be united to those Jesus loves.

    To love others deepens my love with Him. To leave others out of my life, that Jesus wants me to work with and love, can act to separates me from Him. To love Him is to love others more as Jesus loved them to His death. The more I love others, the more I love Him. Jesus wants me to genuinely love others.

    O, Immaculate Heart of Mary, I give you my heart. I want to love you. I want to love Jesus and love this world through Your Two Hearts. Please, my beautiful Mother, lead me into the deepest love with Jesus, your Son. I want to love Jesus as you loved Him. I want to know Him as you know Him. I want to serve Him as you did.

    My dear Mother, I place myself in your heart. I know you will care for me in all my needs. I give myself to you, Mary, my Mother. I love you so much.

    O, dear Sacred Heart of Jesus, I give You my whole heart, my whole being and my whole mind. I see Your Heart on fire for love of me. I want to be in this fiery furnace and know the love of God. Take me, Jesus, use me as Your little servant to spread Your love to this world. I give myself entirely to You and I ask the Holy Spirit to make me more like You. I want to be a little child of the Father. I give You my heart. Keep me in Your Heart and teach me Your way to love.

    Dear Holy Spirit, You are my best friend. I give You myself. I ask You to move inside of me and make me holy. I want to know the fire of God's love. I want to love God with all my heart.

Consecration for Little Children:
 

  

R. Mary has asked us to consecrate our hearts to her and to Jesus every day. We should, as a parent take time each day to pray with our children. It is very important for all children to have a loving relationship with God and Mary.

    Each child should pray the Consecration to the Holy Spirit and the Consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary every day. Mary has asked, at Fatima, that we pray the rosary every day.

    Let us, as parents, teach our children about the most important part of our lives: our relationship with God.

    When hearts are joined in deepest love with the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, when we realize we are one family under God and love one another, we will have peace in the world.

    Mary, I give you my heart and I ask the Holy Spirit to make me holy. I ask Him to fill me with the fire of God's love. When I am in the heart of Mary, in deep love and when I am in the Heart of Jesus in deep love, I will love my brothers. We will all be joined in Their Hearts in deep love for each other. We will be one family with Mary as our Mother and God as our Father, all brothers in Jesus in union with the Holy Spirit.

    Dear God, I love You so much. Thanks for creating me and giving me Your love. Help me to love You more and more and love all others with Your love as You live in me.

 

February 22, 1996

R. We join in this oneness with all others in the reception of the Holy Eucharist. Jesus is the Head of the body, the Church, we are members of the mystical body of Christ. We join in such oneness with one another, all dwelling in Their Hearts. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell in our graced baptized soul. Such power in the joining of our hearts.

Excerpt from Response in Christ by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

e) Relationship with Members of the Church

There is but one true Church of Christ. Yet this one Church has three different states of existence. There is the pilgrim Church, the Church of this world, composed of members who have received the grace of Christ and strive for its development. They have not yet obtained the goal of their efforts, as have the members of the heavenly Church, who enjoy God in eternal happiness. The Church suffering is an intermediate state of existence necessary for those who had not achieved the required purification as members of the pilgrim Church. Although there are these three phases of the Church’s existence, there is a profound union existing between all the members. All these members possess the same basic life of grace in Christ, and this common life establishes the most intimate bonds of love. In our preceding chapter, we discussed the pilgrim Church. Let us now consider the Church suffering and the heavenly Church.

The members of the Church suffering are those who have departed from this life in an incomplete state of Christian development. Their development is incomplete in the sense that grace has not fully taken possession of them, and, as a result, they are yet closed in upon themselves to a greater or lesser degree. They as yet cannot open themselves out in complete love to the Triune God in the beatific vision. They must undergo a further purification, a purification which could have been achieved upon earth with merit. Now the purification must be achieved with no merit attached. The pain of this purification is mixed with the certain expectation of achieving the vision of God. We can hasten the advent of this vision for this people by the offering of prayers and other good works. Scripture itself refers to our action on behalf of those in purgatory in Chapter 12 of the Second Book of Maccabees beginning with verse 38.

The members of the heavenly Church are those in whom the life of grace has taken full possession and has reached its completion in the life of glory. Faith now is unnecessary, as the light of glory gives the human intellect a new strength and capacity for seeing God face-to-face. While the Christian was a wayfarer, he received the imprint of the indwelling Trinity as he shared in God’s own life. Now in heaven that grace-life and possession of God reaches its completion—the absolute completion is not achieved, however, until the resurrection of the body. The divine persons give Themselves to the beatified in a profound union far surpassing that of the indwelling of the Trinity experienced here below.

This life of heaven is still the Christ-life, for just as we possess a share in Trinitarian life here below as mediated by Christ, and exercise this grace-life as structured by Him, so also in heaven is the mediation of Christ present. In the words of Rahner, "One always sees the Father through Jesus. Just as immediately as this, for the directness of the vision of God is not a denial of the mediatorship of Christ as man."¹⁴ And not only does the humanity of Christ unite the blessed to God, but also, in some way, to the whole of creation. This is merely a completion of what is begun here below, namely, the union with Christ in His humanity establishing the Christian in a special relationship with God, with other men, and with the whole of creation. We have a glimpse, therefore, of the fullness of life which members of the heavenly Church possess.

The heavenly Church, as St. Thomas says, is the true Church.¹⁵ The Church of this earth and the Church of purgatory are, each in its own way, reaching out in loving hope for the heavenly Jerusalem. Vatican II puts it very simply: "The Church, to which we are called in Christ Jesus, and in which we acquire sanctity through the grace of God, will attain her full perfection only in the glory of heaven."¹⁶

The members of the heavenly Church can help us in living our life of grace until we too share its fullness with them. Their power of intercession on our behalf is but another ramification of the communal aspect of Christianity. We are meant to help others grow in Christ. We, in turn, are intended by God to receive aid from others—yes, from members of the heavenly Church, as well as from those with whom we dwell here below.

Not only can we be aided by the saints’ intercession, but the example of the canonized saints can also be of great value to us. They have concretely proved that full holiness is possible. Such an inspiration is of real worth when we are tempted to think that Christian sanctity in its higher degrees is impossible of attainment. Moreover, the canonized saints, in their diversity, teach us that there are many authentic versions of Christian holiness. They can be innovators in showing us that there are numerous possibilities in assimilating the mystery of Christ, although the basic assimilation remains the same for all Christians of all times. In the opinion of Rahner this is one of the chief roles the canonized saints exert in the life of the Church.¹⁷

R. We pray to the Father united to the Sacrifice of Jesus, in the Holy Spirit through the powerful intercession of Mary, with all the angels and saints and the souls in purgatory.

We unite so deeply at Holy Communion. We want to help make reparation to the Two Hearts for our sins and the sins of the world. I want to help make reparation to His Heart for the injustices and blasphemies against Mary.

We need to feel as a family with all people of the world.

Matthew 12: 46-50

He was still speaking to the crowds when suddenly his mother and his brothers were standing outside and were anxious to have a word with him. But to the man who told him this Jesus replied, 'Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?' And stretching out his hand towards his disciples he said, 'Here are my mother and my brothers. Anyone who does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.'

   

 

February 22, 1996

R. I reach to be so intimate with Him and I want to see through the mind of Christ. In the experience of December 15, 1995 at Holy Cross-Immaculata Church - I was wrapped in the Trinity, time seemed to stand still.

    It is in the lifting of the veil and I am existent on the other side. Oh God give us grace, lift the veil - give us grace - so we see with eyes unveiled. The heart open - or closed: When I am open in my heart I love, when I say the little things my heart tells me to say.

    Jesus is love. Do I look at my brothers through His eyes? Do I tell them the little words Jesus puts in my heart that He wants to say to them?

    Jesus is talking in our hearts to those around us. Am I focused on what He is saying or am I focused on my thoughts - What I want to say to make myself look good? "Gee, that is a pretty dress - you really do that job good." If we live His message, He will do the work. The mightiest messages, I preach in my being.

    If this Movement is to proceed ahead, it must be rooted in love. Every act must be delivered in love. I am one in Him. We were uniquely created by Him to help carry out the plan of spreading the love of God to the world.

We must say to Jesus:

    Jesus, I love You. I give You my heart. Mary, I love you. I give you my heart. We must unite every action all day with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, to the Father, united to Jesus in the Holy Spirit with all the angels and saints and the souls in purgatory - through the powerful intercession of our Mother Mary.

 

February 23, 1996 - Friday - 12:00 - 3:00 p. m.

R. I saw Jesus alive in the statue at Immaculata. I sat for one hour and was just with Him. I had a wonderful experience at Mass. I realized my sins, I am so far from Him, but I see the greatness of what is going on.

    I see the constant merging of my heart with Theirs (Jesus and Mary) through the Mass, despite my sinfulness. I go to the heart of Mary.

    I long for this union with Him. I kept hearing how He took me to the deepest recess of His Heart. I kept seeing the white center - knowing the Father's love and wanting to die to all that is not of Him.

    I have felt close to Him for a long time but I feel different, though, at this moment. I see so clearly, my beloved brothers and I know God's love so intently, love for all.

    I pray for this oneness with my brothers, that all will love Him with the deepest love and give God what He deserves.

    I want to help make reparation to His Heart and Mary's heart for all of the neglect and blasphemies against Their Hearts.

    I pray for the priests and religious that they will be deeply united to Him, that we will be one with each other in this Movement, that we will unite to spread this devotion across the world.

He Remains with Us, Truly Present (excerpt)

R. I feel His love in the hearts of holy priests. God has given to the priest such a gift and they are another Christ to us. My soul is fed because of His holy priests. I feel fed when a priest loves Jesus so much.

    I must see the hearts of men and join with them in one heart, love them deeply in my heart. There will be an era of peace when hearts are one with the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Jesus and Mary, I give You my heart.

    God wants unity among men. I must join in my heart to all, immediately knowing how Jesus loves them and I too want my heart to love as Jesus loves. Seeing their heart as soon as I look at them, I feel Jesus' love in the hearts of holy priests. Jesus has anointed them and they represent another Christ to us.

About the Shepherds of Christ Movement for the Convention

R. The Shepherds of Christ Movement is a Movement to help in the renewal of the Church and the world. This Movement is centered in the Consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Our primary goal is to pray for the priests.

    Fr. Carter is the Spiritual Director for this Movement. Fr. Carter writes a Spirituality Newsletter which presently is being sent to 70,000 priests in the world. He also writes a newsletter for Sisters and Brothers.

    We have prayer chapters all over the world, praying for the priests and religious. We have prayer chapters reaching the children, called Junior Shepherds of Christ. These children pray the rosary and consecrate their Hearts to Jesus and Mary.

    In this Movement we have started a movement called Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus. In this movement people volunteer to spend two hours a week before the tabernacle, praying for the Church, the world, and the Shepherds of Christ Movement from the prayers in the prayer manual that Jesus gave Fr. Carter.

 

 

February 25, 1996

R. My most intimate love is Jesus. I know Jesus, all the times we have been alone, the hours and hours spent with Him in such deep love. Jesus is my Divine Lover. No love on this earth can compare to the love given from our Divine God. Jesus fills my being with His presence and I feel deep union with all Three Persons of the Trinity. It is beyond words to describe the presence of My God. I want to be, just to be with Him, alone with Him and spend time with Him, my dates with my beloved Jesus. My day centering around the time I am alone, just Jesus and me in being with each other. These are the greatest moments of my life.

    The times I was with my beloved Jesus before the Blessed Sacrament, I scarce can breathe to realize how much God loves me in all my wretchedness and comes inside of my tarnished soul. I want so much to be like Him. Jesus is so beautiful. Jesus Who loved even when He was whipped and beaten at the pillar. I want to love Jesus. It is so hard sometimes. I want Jesus' light to be alive in me so Jesus will live through me and shine as the brightest light in this world to me. I want a soul that is as filled abundantly by Him. I love His fiery Heart. I am so far from the perfection and He still loves me so much. I go to Mary's heart and she takes me to Jesus' Heart on fire for love of me, little me. The Holy Spirit permeates my soul with the fire of God's love, transforming me more and more into the image of Jesus. I love Him so much and I want Him alive in me.

    I give myself in total surrender to You, my beautiful God, realizing how dependent I am on You for everything. I am so willful, so afraid, so full of self - the self that wants to rule and not to be ruled, the self that feels the pain and does not love many times as I should, the self that wants human recognition, the self that wants to be satisfied here in so many little things, and does not realize the great gifts and the great love I am given from You, God.

    I see my ungratefulness to You for all Your goodness to me. I see my lack of love for so much love You give to me. I see my ungratefulness for the love and kindness given to me from others, through You. I see a little scared child, the little child that stands by the tree in the darkened, rainy night and cries when there is shelter in Your burning Heart. I see and I want to be better but I see my total dependence on You to be sanctified and I beg for Your grace.

Song: I Am Your Sacred Heart

R. Oh, I see the human part of me that needs to be saturated with Your Divine grace. I want to be divinized by You. I want to share in Your life, deeper and deeper. I want You, God. I want oneness with You, to be so merged in You that I am existent totally in You. I know this completeness. I know what I experienced on December 15th. You gave me such a grace and I knew You so intimately. This is my goal, God, to be like this but it takes Your grace. I want this mystical marriage with You, at every second to feel one in You. Mary is the key to dwelling deeply in Your Heart.

    Negativism and shaming is not from God. We should be elated to discuss the great gifts You have given us.

    How would Jesus handle the problem? How would Jesus treat those who followed Him? How did Jesus speak to the Apostles? Jesus was concerned with their spiritual life.

    I want to be filled by the Holy Spirit – to live in vibrancy in God – to do a divine job, it takes Divine assistance. If adoration and time is not spent with Jesus, you get human minds working on a divine plan.

    Words can build up, words can tear down. A condemning, shaming remark can tear down a vibrant spirit. The Word of God is so powerful. Anger comes from deep inside; anger surfaces in incidental matters.

    If work is done for the love of God, if love is the primary concern, if building of spirits is the main focus of the words spoken, they will be delivered in love, even when they are criticism.

    If criticism is delivered with anger, the anger is from a deep-rooted source within. Never could one use ways to provoke anger and control in others. Never should one use passive-aggressive ways to attack passively. Anger comes from deep within the soul. It surfaces in incidental matters. Many times the matters are created to vent the anger built up inside. A person can have an unpeaceful heart and not feel comfortable in groups – so they come to a place where people are at peace, praying, working and start provoking or attacking in passive-aggressive ways.

    If in the case of a person: I am angry, you are the reason. I find you guilty, I vent the anger. I am relieved. Three days later it surfaces again. You are responsible again for my anger. It will not go away until the person looks deep inside and owns the anger and gets rid of it.

    Alcoholism has generations of angry people. Until the person 'owns' the anger, they will continue to blame others for how they are feeling. As long as they are justified and find a scapegoat to vent it on, they will continue to vent it on that person and the anger can come out in rage. Anger is from deep within – it can be like an anger can which has been sprayed on that family – Perfectionism, stiff, I rule – you get under me – selfishness – unloving, envious, jealousy - centered in pride. It is like a pressure cooker – from generations of angry people.

    See diagram - anger - blame somebody – after attack - relieves anger a little – 3-4 days later, anger is back and needs to be relieved - blame somebody for my anger and once this happens, continue to blame them. Anger - relieved.

    Three or four days later - never goes away - anger is deep within. Anger keeps surfacing. Anger is relieved. Many people have a bottomless pit of generations of anger. It comes out as hungry dogs in the basement. It subsides for a while and it comes out again.

    Must look at the source of the anger. Deep in the person - they must own it and deal with it. Can't blame somebody else for your anger. When you don't feel good inside, you look inside and see why. You don't blame somebody else for angry emotions inside of yourself. This is projection: I don't feel good, it is this other person's fault. If you react with anger instantly, then it can be something in your past you are reacting to.

    You must own the anger as within yourself and see what turned on the switch inside that made you angry. Cycles of abuse where a person constantly provokes and gets away with it. God intends us to be responsible and accountable for our actions, we are to operate in love – come and be with people in love – not come to have a fight, challenge, start trouble because of anger inside. You must look at relationships with all significant others in the past. Did my father criticize me - usually the problem is in childhood. Angry parents pass on angry children.

    Children watch parents get angry. They learn to be angry. They store up a lot of emotions that were not vented as a child – a lot of needs that were not met.

    When a person is violated by another to the point of anger, it is usually something to do with childhood. Anger is stored and continues to build. It is in purifying the heart that we learn to love.

    We must go inside our heart and clean out all the debris – not provoke another to get away with our darkness inside of us. We will have peace, if we are at peace with God. God calls us to love. He commands us to love. People challenging those over them to get control or discredit authority are not working under the structure God wants men to work under – God blesses obedience to those over us.

    The more we clean out our heart of all that is not like Him, the more He can fill our heart with Hs love. Anger is stored up emotions from the past. It can be a volcano inside to a little anger.

    Anger comes out in accordance to how it is built up inside. A person can provoke another, abuse another, in front of others, so they look good and the authority looks discredited. This can happen over and over again – the person comes to discredit those in charge. It is not God's way of love and obedience. Anger can be acted out by passive-aggressive attacks – provoking, lying, challenging and it can be acted out over and over again with no validation to the secret passive-aggressive attacks. This can be called acting-out, where the person is trying to resolve loss of power from their family life and now turn an innocent situation is into a battlefield.

    It has nothing to do with the person it is projected at, they are the scapegoat. Once a person finds a scapegoat, they continue to use that person if they get away with it. They genuinely believe it is the other person's fault that they are angry. Until they see anger as their emotion, they continue to blame others for the darkness and unloving hatred inside of them. Division in their soul.

    People use alcohol, or other outlets such as work, to relieve the pain from the wounds of childhood. Until they look at the wounds and their relationship with others, they continue to act out their childhood problems on others, trying to once and for all, end the problems deep within.  They are trying to resolve unfinished business with others from the past – like loss of power. Until they own their problems with others as their own and quit looking to others for answers, they will continue to have problems with others.

    If I have a problem with you, I must look inside and see how I am acting that is causing it. Passive-aggressive ways are hidden.

    I should express myself, not promote myself and make myself better than you, but to do God's work, to use the talents He gave me to accomplish His work for me.

    We are as the lights on a Christmas tree, if we are plugged in, the whole tree lights up. If it is a single circuited strand of lights, a few may be broken but the tree basically lights up.

    God looks to this earth and sees much darkness. Darkness has covered the earth. Mary appears as Our Lady of Light to plug our hearts into her Son. Our hearts are our bulbs that light the tree of God's children. All light flows from the heart and the soul.

    Mary has spoken, she has told us how to light this world. It is the burning Heart of her Son. We do not listen to her. The earth remains in darkness. Mary says, "Until a sufficient number of people have consecrated their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, we will not have peace in the world." When we have consecrated our hearts to Jesus and Mary, we will light the world.

    It is as the Christmas tree – when many lights are shining, the tree is lighted. When many lights are in darkness, the whole tree looks dark, but the few that are lit stand out against the darkness.

    We must stay rooted in Him. We must plug our heart into Mary's heart and she will plug us into her Son. Jesus is the power source. Only in Him will the light shine.

    Mary, our Mother, I give you my heart. Place it in the Heart of your Son that we will be one body in Him, that we will light up the earth. And the light shone as the brightest light and it covered the earth. The light to this darkened world is the fire of His love.

R. Read entry: I knew and loved all of humanity as with His mind, being one with all then in this place where my mind was absorbed, knowing Him – it was as if I could see the mind of Christ. With love! Not Division.

    Reflection on December 15th. During all of these mystical experiences, there is not time - time stands still. In a moment I was satisfied. I wanted for nothing. I knew God as I never knew Him before. This is what I aim for in this white center of this union with Him where I unite to the Father.

    It is in the lifting of the veil I see and know more as the veil is lifted of love. All of these mystical experiences are experienced when They lift the veil.

    I have had such a presence of the Trinity - as in the summer of 1994 in my study room. Someone could have stuck a pin in me and I would not have felt it – where I exist in this way. So one in God.

    I should express myself, not promote myself and make myself better than you, but to do God's work, to use the talents He gave me, to accomplish His work for me.

    Focused on God!!

     

February 28, 1996

R. God wants us to love our brothers. I am to help make reparation for my sins and the sins of the whole world. Many of God's children are offending God. God wants us to tell Him we are sorry for the sins of the world. God gives us the Mass the sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present. We unite with Jesus, giving ourselves to the Father, in the Holy Spirit, through the intercession of Mary – to help make reparation for our sins and the sins of the world.

    We unite with the angels and saints and the souls in purgatory and all at Mass - praying at Mass in reparation for sins, in love to God, in petition and thanksgiving to God and praising God the Almighty. The Mass is giving ourselves in love to God. God opens the flood gates of heaven and outpours His grace to the Church and the world.

    Why does God give us these references in the Bible? Why do we have to read them? We are in the Father's "family". We are brothers in Christ.

    Adam and Eve sinned. Eve is the mother of all the living; Adam is the father. We have original sin. Jesus is the New Adam, Mary the New Eve.

  Exodus 34: 6-7

Then Yahweh passed before him and called out, ‘Yahweh, Yahweh, God of tenderness and compassion, slow to anger, rich in faithful love and constancy, maintaining his faithful love to thousands, forgiving fault, crime and sin, yet letting nothing go unchecked, and punishing the parent’s fault in the children and in the grandchildren to the third and fourth generation!’ 

R. I see the family relationship between myself and my neighbor. I deal with my neighbor as a brother. I plead to the Father for my family, my beloved brothers.

    I saw through the eyes of God on February 22nd. He gave me clear vision to see His family of creatures. He took me to a little spot. He revealed this to me.

    We must pray to see more and more the mystery of God. We pray to be open, not closed down and stiff-necked.  If I am having a problem with my brothers, I take the problem to my Papa, to my Mother and give it to my brother Jesus. I put it under His cross. Jesus paid the price for our sins.

    I remember before I received messages (before 1991) one Saturday morning, I went to my study and I heard this story: Suppose a little boy was bad and the school was going to expel him for his conduct. His big brother stepped in and said, "Don't expel my brother, let me pay for the offense, expel me instead, give my brother another chance. I love him."

    This is what we do to God. We say Papa, this is my brother and I love him. Let me help make reparation for my sins and the sins of my brother, through Jesus. I take my burden to the foot of the cross. I know my brother Jesus paid for our sins.

    Mary is the Mother of our Christ-life. I must go to her. I must go to my Father as a little, little child, with all my problems. We are brothers. We tell our Father we are having a problem. We say, "Father, look at what our brother Jesus did for us. We ask You, Father, through Jesus, to have mercy on us and our brothers. We want to help make reparation to You, Father, through the wounded Heart of Jesus." The Father will hear our plea.

    Jesus is Divine. Our sins are paid for through His death on the cross. Mary is sinless - we want to help make reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We are sinful children. Mary pleads our case to the Father through her sinless heart.

    Jesus took me to a place, to let me see more and more clearly through the eyes of God. I pray to know the mind and heart of God. I pray to the Holy Spirit to enlighten me. I could see my relationship with others as my brothers. I know more how God loved us as a family. From this moment on I call Him "Papa", My beloved Father, my beloved Mother, my beloved brothers and sisters in Him. That is why reparation at Communion is so important. It is when I am in the deepest oneness with Jesus, My Divine mediator.

    Jesus took me to the inner chamber of His Heart and I knew the love of God as never before. It was there, I united so deeply to the Father, it was there the Spirit of God gave me wisdom and knowledge, understanding and counsel.

    I begged for knowledge of God and my dearest friend, the Holy Spirit, gave me an insight into the Divine Mystery of God's love, God's plan for all men. The Father's Plan will unfold, despite all of the willfulness of men.

    Thank You God, how I love You, I worship You and I adore You.

    Who is My Mother. Who is my brother? Anyone who does the will of my Father. I dwell in the Heart of Jesus. Jesus shed His Blood for the sins of all men. Perfect love casts out fear. We tell God we are sorry for our sins. We must strive to please our heavenly Father. All of a sudden I have such peace for the Father told me His plan will unfold despite our willfulness. We must be in one mind and one heart, pleading our case to the Father, united in the Mass the sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present.

    Mary said at Fatima, "Unless a sufficient number of people have given their hearts to Jesus and Mary, we will not have peace in the world."

    We will have peace when enough are giving their hearts to Jesus and Mary's heart.

    There will not be any "bumping of heads" amongst this brethren. Who is my Mother? Who is my brother?  Anyone who does the will of the Father.

    I look at Jesus on the cross and I know He paid the price for our sins with His Blood. Jesus paid the price. Jesus is the Savior of the world.

Song: A Song from Jesus

R. I offer myself as a sacrifice with Him to the Father. The sacrifice of Calvary is sacramentally made present now at every Mass. I unite myself to Jesus to plead for mercy from the Father in the Holy Spirit, through the intercession of Mary. My every action is united in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world.

    The Father sees my offering as a sacrifice offered to Him united to Jesus for my sins and the sins of the whole world. The more I am one in Jesus, the greater my intercessory prayer.

    Man has sin; man is sinning. The Father wants us to help make reparation to God, for God is offended by our sins.

    God is about to strike the earth. Mary, our Mother pleads and who pays heed? We must go to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

    Take shelter from the wind and the storm in the Heart of Jesus.

Song: I Am Your Sacred Heart.

    If we are not attached to the vine we wither and die. The life of the body is fed through the Heart of Jesus. Jesus gives us His Body and His Blood. They pierced His Heart and what flowed out was blood and water; water, a symbol for Baptism, whereby we are given a sharing in His life, Blood, a symbol of the Eucharist whereby the body is fed.
